Boys to Men



Have you ever asked yourself why?
Why do I schedule play dates,
plan sleep overs, feed teams of
hungry kids? Why do I take
extra kids on vacation, organize cabins
at summer camp and drive, drive,
drive, drive and drive some more?
What possible reason could there be
for all of our parental maneuvering? 

Well, sometimes fourth grade BFF's really,
truly, absolutely do stay friends forever.

  8. This is a very poignant post. I haven't been a mother yet, but though I'm very young I know that some friends stay close forever :)

  9. Love this Adrienne. I treasure the friends I've had since childhood, as does my husband. He's been fishing and friends with one for over 50 years now. So glad you instilled that in your children.
